It's another pink Nokia phone. And it's just started shipping, about a month after it was first announced.
Shocked? You should be - the press release for the Nokia N72 said that it would be released in June 2006. From past experience, that meant (about) December 2006, [The N91 was announced for 4Q 2005 and was released in 2Q 2006] but today is only the 1st of June!
Of course this is probably not as big a deal as the N91, running, as it is, on an outdated Symbian OS version, and with basically the same featureset (sans 3G) as the Nokia N70. Indeed, this is the Nokia N70-5 in a different shell.
Remember: Only get this phone if the price is right. While right now it's probably one of the most useful Symbian smartphones because it doesn't suffer from the lack of applications phones running on Symbian 3rd Ed. are, the N72 is also basically the same phone as the N70, without the 3G connectivity - and the N70 was basically the same phone as the Nokia 6680 (in a subtly different shell) - and the Nokia 6680 is basically the same phone as the Nokia 6630 (in a very different shell). That's eighteen month-old tech; ancient in the mobile world.
So it has a screen with one quarter the pixels of the Nokia N80, no macro mode, no WiFi, and quite a horrible browser. This one doesn't even have 3G to compensate.
It does, however, come in pink (as above) and also in black, in quite a fetching shell, and JD Powers thinks that physical design contributes 24% to your phone satisfaction level, quite a bit more (in percentage terms) than feature-set...
